Janette Murray-Wakelin, 64, and Alan Murray, 68, finished their 365th consecutive marathon on Dec. 31 in Melbourne, Australia as their family and friends cheered them on. Then on Jan. 1, they ran their 366th consecutive marathon, which they say is a world record, but that has not yet been confirmed.

The couple, who maintain a raw, plant-based, vegan lifestyle, completed all the marathons to raise awareness and money for various charities, such as the Animals Australia and the Australian Paralympic Committee. According to their website, the main reason they ran the marathons was to "Inspire and motivate conscious lifestyle choices, to promote kindness and compassion for all living beings and to raise environmental awareness for a sustainable future."

They also wrote, "We are healthier, more physically fit and have unlimited energy at beyond 60 years of age than in our earlier years."
